chongbcoolin Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Request: Please allow custom playlist covers. By that I mean allow whatever song is 1st to be the playlist album image or allow us the same options applied to album art to customize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Currently the 1st available playlist track with embedded album art is selected, otherwise some track is selected and album art search is initiated based on tags. I'm adding a minor change here so "some track " will be the exactly 1st track in a playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invaderzim Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Max, please include an option to delete cover art if custom image can not be applied. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Perhaps playlists could also look for a <same_name_as_playlist>.jpg file (in the same folder as the playlist) and if found use that as artwork for the playlist? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre That could work too. I figured there could be a way of applying the Album Art options to the Playlist. By that I mean the option to auto search the internet for an image or choose one from your gallery could work the same for the playlists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absinthequ Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 For the time being I created a 3 second mp3 for each playlist I have. Since it displays the first song on the list I just put them as the first song on the list with whatever cover art I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 There are plans to add image selection for playlists (like it's possible e.g. for Artists). Currently there is no UI for selecting album art from one of existing tracks in the list (current UI searches in the internet, but we can't search by playlist name).

chongbcoolin Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Embedding the image fixed the problem I was having. The first song works as the cover image now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaja714 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I second the motion for {playlistName}.jpg. Since this is inside the '/playlist' folder, there's little chance of collision. Further, we could also "invent" directives to override. In M3U, #EXTIMG could point to the playlist image. For WPL, <image>xxxxx.jpg</image> could do the same.
